Ottolenghi's 'Bridget Jones' pan-fried salmon
A recipe for pan-fried salmon from Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, Ottolenghi Simple, referring to a scene in Bridget Jones' Baby in which Patrick Dempsey invents a dish from Ottolenghi he would have brought to Bridget.
Jonathan Lovekin
This is the dish Patrick Dempsey’s character tells Renée Zellweger’s Bridget Jones that he would have brought her on their imaginary second date in Bridget Jones’s Baby. ‘From Ottolenghi,’ says Dempsey, ‘delicious and healthy!’ And easy, we might add! What sounded like a bit of product placement on our part was in fact no such thing. The recipe didn’t even exist on our menu, so this is a retrospective acknowledgement.
